    @roymccoy I totally agree with what you've said. Somebody had too much time on their hands.

    @sakamvari With the new game, I can see the remaining tiles on my opponent's rack. Whenever the unseen tiles fall below 17, whatever shows when you click "unseen tiles" is what your opponent has. You might want to change that.

    I'm a retired proofreader. It's in my blood. The black arrow is ugly and the red-letter blank was fine.

    Here's another real post and a serious proposal.

    I can see and grant that the size of the tile letters in the old layout could stand to come down a little. But they may have been brought down a little too much. It looks that way to me, at least. So one thing you could do, I'm sure, is try the size exactly halfway between the two. I think that would wind up being an acceptable compromise. Thank you.

    I already said. Specifically about the ugly black arrow, I would expect to hear something like "We'd like to keep the same green arrow but we can't, because..."

    On the tile letters, another possibility (than the one already proposed, to use a size midway between the old one and the new one) might be to use a slightly bolder version of the typeface if one is available. Some typefaces have a wide range of weights, and perhaps this typeface is one of them.

    Pretty sure this has always been the case. Since it is known what letters are available in the game, one could look at the board and be able to figure out what letters are unseen, whether still to be drawn, or in your opponent's hand. Personally, I'm not that sharp, so it's nice that the game gives you a little extra help in this regard...

    @57chevvie
    Oh my word, you're right. I hadn't seen that, probably because I was playing in the old version. A reversion to the previous typeface would take care of this immediately, and I don't suppose that anything other than some typeface change will correct it (unless a customized typeface is used – I used a program called Fontographer to customize the fonts I used on a Mac at work).

    I'm wondering if the old version hasn't been modified recently. When looking at it before in comparison to the new version, I had to admit that the tile letters looked fat. Now, however, they look fine, as if they'd been discreetly thinned down. ???

    @roymccoy Why do you want them to please your color choices. I can think of serious issues that need changes to benefit all. Your changes are to benefit you. Guessing you do not pay, I do and I can still think if changes to benefit all that do not seem to get done. color of arrow no big deal. Incidentally pop up ads? pay to play or go on the net to get an adblocker. Just some thoughts

    You're presumably talking about the green arrow and the red blank letters, neither of which are my color choices. None of my other suggestions are particularly idiosyncratic either, as you imply. I do pay, despite rarely analyzing games, so you don't get to plomp yourself into a higher class of Lexulous observers. Please think a little more before posting your thoughts, thanks.
